Tufted herb up to 10 cm. tall clad in dense soft white tomentum. Lvs mainly radical, ascending, linear to linear-spathulate to obovate-spathulate, 2-5 cm. × 3-6 mm.; slender petiole = or > lamina. Stems few or solitary, scapiform, very slender, lvs diminishing to linear bracts. Capitula solitary, c. 1 cm. diam.; receptacle alveolate, flat to shallowly concave, c. 2-3 mm. diam. Outer phyll. short, floccose without; inner glab., scarious, linear, acute, 4-5 mm. long. Achenes c. 1 mm. long, sparsely puberulous, becoming glab., narrow-elliptic. Pappus of 15-20 filiform spreading hairs c. 5 mm. long.
Stoloniferous perennial; stems 1-3, ascending to erect, simple, 1-15 cm tall. Lvs mostly basal; basal lvs cuneate to short or long petiole, usually densely white-tomentose on both surfaces including mid-vein, sometimes only moderately tomentose on upper, plane, narrowly to broadly elliptic or elliptic-obovate, obtuse to subacute, mucronate, (6)-10-40-(60) × 4-10 mm; cauline lvs 2-several, narrow and apetiolate, reduced upwards and finally scalelike, linear-triangular and amplexicaul. Capitula c. 4-6 mm diam., usually solitary, very rarely 2-3 together; subtending lvs 0 or much reduced; scape lateral, amongst or just exceeding lvs at flowering, greatly elongating at fruiting.
